Abstract
A method of monitoring and inductively charging a firearm is implemented with an inductive charging base that includes a chipset, a GPS module, and a wireless communication module. When the firearm is placed onto the inductive charging base, the base charges a portable power source of the firearm and receives a current location of the base from the GPS module. If the firearm is physically separated from the base, then the chipset generates a separation notification. The chipset then sends both the separation notification and the current location of the base with the wireless communication module to contact information stored on the chipset. The contact information is for an authorized user profile of the firearm.
Claims10
A method of monitoring and inductively charging a firearm, the method comprises the steps of:
- (H) providing an inductive charging base, wherein the inductive charging base includes a chipset, a global positioning system (GPS) module, and a wireless communication module;
- (I) providing a firearm, wherein the firearm includes a portable power source and is associated to the inductive charging base;
- (J) providing at least one authorized user profile stored on the chipset, wherein the authorized user profile includes contact information;
- (K) recharging the portable power source by placing the firearm onto the inductive charging base;
- (L) receiving a current location of the inductive charging base from the GPS module;
- (M) generating a separation notification with the chipset, if the firearm is physically separated from the inductive charging base;
- and
- (N) sending the current location of the inductive charging base and the separation notification to the contact information with the wireless communication module.
